A view of Mobius arch and Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains from the arch trail in the Alabama Hills.

It’s the final form (or fractionation) of molten rock called magma. In Alabama Hills, this rock gets its smooth, spherical appearance because it’s been weathered in uniquely even patterns since it first formed around 85 million years ago.

Mam Tor, in the Derbyshire Peak District, the "Mother Hill".
At just 517M (1,696 ft), this is not a tall mountain, but the great gouge seen here in it's Eastern flank bear witness to the many landslips from its sides down the years.
